Create Playlist For Button

This Bash script randomly cycles through playlists during certain hours of the day. It checks if a static playlist is currently playing, and if so, exits the currently playing playlist and selects a new random playlist from a list to play. The script populates a database file with the shuffled playlist order, then retrieves the first playlist in the file to play next before moving it to the end of the queue.
